He'd show up as "=?utf-8?q?S=2E=C3=87a=C4=9Flar?= Onur" <caglar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> which must really hurt. Can you not see how STUPID it would be to say that the name should be shown as an email encoding requires it? Really. Just admit that you were wrong. The fact is, asking for rfc2822 encoding in logs etc is a HORRIBLY HORRIBLY stupid thing to do. What you really want was just something you could cut-and-paste into your mailer. Which actually means that the only special character is probably ",", and your claims of how bad the design was that it didn't leave the total mess that rfc2822 is was actually not true, and was based on simply not knowing how nasty the real world is... Quote frankly, If I had one of the Finnish special characters in my name, I'd piss on your grave if you suggested that. Try to guess what something like =?ISO-8859-15?Q?Linus_T=F6rnqvist?= <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is supposed to be.
